Elshan Baloghlanov is alleged to be a secret agent working for Azerbaijan who allegedly bribed Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) The Daily Beast previously reported that the operative, who allegedly arranged corrupt contracts between the government of Azerbaijan and the Cuellars family, is a former official at the country’s Los Angeles consulate and the owner of the D.C.-area firm WCC International .
Now, the Daily Beast can reveal that at least some of that USAID money paid for the outreach efforts in Oklahoma that led directly to Stitt 's visit to Azerbaijan in 2021 .
USAID contractor CNFA says it will deploy WCC to additional states for similar events in the U.S. in Azerbaijan .
CNFA 's report to USAID credits the 2019 forum with the governor's visit to Azerbaijan with a boost to Oklahoma 's relationship with the country.
The CNFA and Stitt both denied the mission was managed directly by WCC .
The Daily Beast found that WCC International participated in a USAID-sponsored event in Azerbaijan alongside WCC in 2019 .
Stitt ’s office did not respond to repeated questions about contact with Baloghlanov or WCC regarding the 2019 forum, but maintained the alleged Azerbaijani operative and his firm were not involved with the trip in 2021 .
